This is us!

This year as part of our Global Classroom activities the Form1s will be quad-blogging!
We all know what blogging is, and many of us are on Blogger, Wordpress, Tumblr..., but quad-blogging is really special. They'll be sharing their blogs with at least 3 other classes - from South Carolina, U.S.A., from Hawkesdale, Australia and from Athens, Greece for the whole school year.
Each week they'll be posting on various topics and commenting on each others blogs. Please feel free to click on our classes on the left and join in!

A new school year!

Unfortunately last term, I got sick, our site was blocked and it's been much too long since we last met online, but that all in the past now. It's a brand new school year and there are so many awesome new things to see and do at our library.

We must especially thank Mrs. Vivien Lambie, Mrs. Cherise Stauble, Mrs, Angelique Jones, the Aboud family and all the other mummies who gave of their time, creativity and effort to make our vision of a rejuvenated casual reading /media viewing area a reality. I know that you will really love our new space (especially the floor cushions and the bean bag) and be inspired and uplifted by the carefully chosen quotations!

Learning about Garesnica and Moslavina

Our friends at the Osnova Skola Garesnica made a movie about their school, their town, Garesnica and their region, Moslavina. Their finished product was a little too long to post, but we hope you enjoy our edited version!

Our new friends in Croatia!

Wow! We are so impressed with our new friends from Croatia! Not only did the students of the Osnova Skola Garesnica create and send us some lovely bookmarks, they took the time to make a movie and presentation about their school and country. We are very excited to learn more about this beautiful and interesting country and its people.

No school today ... again!

So, by now you may have heard about the accident next door to our school, over the weekend. The wall collapsed and seriously damaged our electrical transformer. This meant that our school's entire electrical grid went down.

Mrs. Pounder, Mrs. Mohammed and the staff did their best to arrange to have it repaired as soon as possible, but it really depends on the technicians at TTEC. Still, the upper school, those year groups who are preparing for external examinations this year, were able to resume classes (with no lights, no air conditioning or Internet access!) yesterday.

Still, that's the really cool thing about being connected. On our Edmodo feed we  can see that people are still communicating, collaborating and creating. Work is still getting done. YAY! Get connected - it's a good thing! Keep checking back here, or here, or here for further updates about when full classes will resume.

LATE BREAKING NEWS - Classes will resume for everyone tomorrow, Thursday 26th January. See you then!
